How much of a threat is the sharing economy for the travel industry?

Uber, Airbnb, Couchsurfing, EatWithALocal and so many others are alternatives to the traditional and already put in place travel system. The impact is stronger than we imagine.

The praise: no middlemen to make the price higher, transactions are quick and easy, and the global reach means you don’t need a local travel expert to coordinate it all. Shared economy options offer more for less cash. Plus a new exciting take on the travel experience.
